Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution
(2020 , Article)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is increasingly deployed as part of the processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry projects. While the benefits of BIM have been extensively proclaimed, ...
An Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference System for the Assessment of Change Order Management Performance in Construction
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2021 , Article)
Change order management is a major challenge in the construction business due to the associated disputes, claims, productivity losses, delays, and cost implications. As a result, effective change order management (COM) is ...
Methods for modeling and evaluating construction disputes: A critical review
(
IEEE
, 2020 , Article)
Cost and time are the targeted outcomes of any successful construction project, and disputes over these two key factors constitute a major obstacle to successful project outcomes. As escalated levels of dispute are becoming ...
Bond durability and service life prediction of BFRP bars to steel FRC under aggressive environmental conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study presents an experimental investigation on the bond durability of helically wrapped basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars embedded in plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) under the combined ...
Application of Tools of Quality Function Deployment and Modified Balanced Scorecard for Optimal Allocation of Pavement Management Resources
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2020 , Article)
Pavement management is a set of tools used to evaluate and maintain pavements so that the pavements can be used safely and effectively over a certain period. Many traditional methods were and are still being used by entities ...
Optimization of Viscoelastic Metamaterials for Vibration Attenuation Properties
(
World Scientific
, 2020 , Article)
Metamaterials (MMs) are composites that are artificially engineered to have unconventional mechanical properties that stem from their microstructural geometry rather than from their chemical composition. Several studies ...
Mechanical and durability properties of ultra-high performance steel FRC made with discarded materials
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This study investigates the mechanical and durability properties of 12 ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) mixes manufactured using alternate aggregate sources. Natural gabbro aggregates (GA), steel ...
Undrained interface shear strength of fine-grained soils for near-shore marine pipelines
(
ASTM International
, 2020 , Article)
The peak and residual interface shear strengths for a variety of normally consolidated soils were measured using a torsional ring shear apparatus modified to suit soil and interface testing under the undrained condition, ...
Comparison of site-specific and empirical correlations for drained residual shear strength
(
ICE Publishing
, 2020 , Note)
The discusser has an interest in the topic of the paper (Hayden et al., 2018) on the ability of empirical correlations to predict the residual friction angle of samples from a specific site. In fact, he provided one of the ...
